White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

By eliorakiah

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
• 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside for later.
2. In the bowl with a mixer, beat melted butter with sugars. Beat in the egg, followed by the egg yolk, followed by the vanilla.
3. Slowly add the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the nuts and white chocolate chips by hand.
4. On greased or parchment lined baking sheets, drop spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart (I used a cookie scoop).
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown. Cookies will be soft upon removal but will firm up a bit as they cool on the baking sheet. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
